I'm really proud (and chuffed) to announce that we've been particularly lucky to receive financial support from the Australian Native Plants Society (ANPS).
CNM was recognised by the ANPS very early on (soon after our initial establishment in late 2013) by the ANPS as trailblazing in the citizen science arena and doing important work for so many critically endangered (and noxious) plant species.
This year, the ANPS have basically presented CNM with a cheque to contribute to the important work that we're doing and also the vision we have for the continued enhancement of our platform.
All I can say is that we really appreciate this critical support. Founding CNM from nothing to where we are approximately 4 years later has definitely been extremely challenging, but also absolutely rewarding when we see the results. Without the support of bodies like the ANPS, our work is made that much more difficult and our survival is not guaranteed by default.
I would like to express a special thanks to Geoff Butler for his keen interest in and support of CNM.
